N., eta gilles on board being a security against fire, it was a curl (N3 fact that the only vessel that was seriously burnt Ins the Phcenix, and she had a fire hose on board. The coals in these vessels were placed between the side of the vessel and the boiler, whereas in common steam vessels they were placed I n a mere dangerous situation, viz., on the top of the boiler. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Lord STOURTON hoped he should not be accused of a turbid sensibility, if he approached their Lordships not only in Protection of his own honour, but in the protection of the ho 'he document which he now held in his hand had been seut to 4 un, and be did not call their Lordships' attention to it from any desire to have the person with whom it originated punished. But it deeply and vitally assailed his (Lord Stourton's) honor, and charged him with no less than violating his oath. The Noble Lord here handed the petition to the Clerk, who was about to read it, when The EL LENBOROUGH obj ec t e d t o it s b e i n g read. the Noble Lord might read it as part of his speech, if he Pleased. Lord STOURTON would bow to the decision of the Noble -Lord opp os it e , as he was not very well acquainted with the forms of the House. The paper purported to be a petition from the Corporation of Tailors, or Guild of St. John the baptist, of the City of Dublin. The petitioners, after entering into a variety of statements relative to the spread of the Roman Catholic religion, and the i llangers threatened thereby to the Established Church, al luded to the passing of the Emancipation Bill, at which Period a pledge was exacted from Roman Catholic Peers and Members of the House of Commons, that they would ltot use their privileges to weaken or disturb the established r eligion; and it further alleged that the Noble Lord, and other tlotnan Catholic Members, had violated these oaths by voting ()1 1 questions affecting the Established Church. After read log some extracts from the speech of Sir Robert Peel on the Catholic Emancipation Bill, the Noble Lord suddenly sat clown. Earl WILTON presented a petition from 8,000 inhabitants of Manchester and Salford, in favour of the Lords' Amend flents to the Irish Municipal Bill. The Marquis of CAMDEN presented a petition from the University of Cambridge, praying that the name of the Vice Chancellor of t ambridge for the time being be inserted in the list of persons appointed to hold the Commission of the Peace for that town. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the arrangement Prayed for in the petition, was most strenuously objected to by the inhabitants of the town. So far as he was concerned, he Lad no personal objection to the introduction of such a clause. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented two petitions from Gloucester, praying for the abolition of the punishment of death • also a petition from Aberdeen in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath. RAILWAYS. The Duke of WELLINGTON begged to know whether his Majesty's Government had prepared any plan relative to the conduct of the various Railway Bills now pending before Parliament ? The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE replied that the Govern teem were not at that moment prepared with any plan upon the subject; but at the same time, he begged to assure the Noble Duke that Ministeri were exceedingly alive to the great importance of the subject, and that, in the course of a very short time, they should be prepared to come forward with a plan which he hoped and believed would be generally ap proved of. In the meantime he thought it would be highly desirable to introduce into all the Railway Bills that should tome under the consideration of the House, a clause by which they should hereafter become subject to any general plan Which the House might deem fit to adopt. The Duke of WELLINGTON, with the permission of the House, would read a clause which he had prepared upon the subject, and which he thought should be introduced into every Railway Bill that came under their consideration prior to the adoption of a general plan. He would read the clause now, and then lay it on the table of the House in order that it might be printed and considered by their Lordships previous to Thursday next, when he should move its insertion in the first Railway Bill that came before them. The Noble Duke then read the clause, which was to this effect :—Provided always, and be it further enacted, that nothing herein contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to the exemption of this or any other railroad from the provisions of any general Act or general Acts for the regulation of railroads, which may be Pass e d with a view to the advantage, protection, and security 13 f the public, before the expiration of one year from the pass- Itg of this Act, if Parliament shall be sitting at the expiration 0f such period of one year, or if Parliament should not be then sitting, before the end of the then next session." DUBLIN POLICE FORCE. Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved for a return of the ap lateation of the funds voted for the support of the Dublin Po lice Force. Viscount DUNCA NN N moved the second reading of the Dublin Police Bill. He trusted that the Noble Lords oppo site' Would not oppose it. Lord ELLENBOROUGH certainly would not oppose the Second reading of the Bill, but he thought the House ought to be in possession of the information for which he had just moved before they went into Committee. With 40,0001. for the maintenance of the police establishment the magistrates .of Dublin ought to preserve the peace of that city better than they did. The Bill vas then read a second time, and ordered to be totamitted this day week. BISHOPRIC OF DURHAM BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE this dill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the Lord CHANCELLOR the Judicial Qualifications (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. (I ,.Viscount MELBOURNE r o se to mo v e the s e c o nd reading 1 the Universities (Scotland) Bill. The commission of royal Ihitation to inquire into the state of the Universities of Scot ane, constituted as it was, had made accurate inquiries into the condition of the Universities of Scotland, and had examined all The circumstances connected therewith ; they had inquired into the means and mode of education, into the property which they possessed, into the appointment of the professors, and into every other matter ; and had made a report, recommending many alterations and amendments in the existing system ; all Nvhielt were recited in the preamble of the Bill. The Bill , self was founded on the principal recommendation of the ( Committee, in the 13th page pf the Report. That recom lelendation was, that a general board of visitors should 1 .?..e establi s h e d, t o i nqu i re i nto an d rev i se t h e con di t i on o f t h e 4 1Jniversities of St. A n d rew , Gl asgow , Edi n b urg h, an d Aber een ; and that a snecial board should be appointed with re ference to each University. Various clauses regulated the Manner in which the enquiry and revision should take place ; 4 .! well as the powers which were to be conferred upon the lesitors, in order to enable them to discharge the duties for *Lich they were appointed, Another clause gave them the a uthority to abolish professorships, saving vested interests. It *as provided that the Senatus Academicus should, in the teurse of six months, be allowed to send into the Board a s tatement of the alterations and amendments which they Ihought expedient; thus giving them the initiative, if they those to t a k e it. I n case they failed to do so, the visitors h ere to proceed according to their own judgment, subject to Zoe revision of Parliament. As the Bill had been delayed 44 eger than perhaps it ought to have been, he trusted that their Lordships would not unnecessarily delay its adoption, I tith such alterations and amendments as might seem expe dient to them. He was aware that an objection might lie to "e power given to the Crown in the appointment of the board visitors. But in this, as in all similar cases, much must Vend on the character of the persons appointed. He would t ec elude by moving the second reading of the Bill. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not rise to oppose the second reading of the Bill—understanding from the Noble viscount that its main object was to carry into effect the re temmendations in the report of the commissioners of royal Zisitation to inquire into the state of the Universities of Scot 'kid. Having himself had the honor of being one of those missioncrs, he could not object to a measure founded on heir report, which report had his general concurrence. It ' Ou se obvious, however, that a great discretion must be given to h oard of visitors which it was proposed to appoint. At pre lent he saw no material objections to the Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed his hope that * efficient time would be allowed between the second reading a nd the committee for a full consideration of its enactments. „ The Earl of RO SE BE RY allowed that some measure of Zis kind had become absolutely necessary. It did not appear Lim that there was anything in the character of the Bill "id' ought to excite jealousy or suspicion. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY would not offer the fightest objection to the second reading of the Bill. He con essed that in the first instance he was rather alarmed at see ieg nameless persons were to be invested with power to I,lquire into and revise the ancient Universities of Scotland. " 4 t having heard the statement of the Noble Viscount, and the Zillions of other Noble Lords perfectly competent to judge of e subject, that alarm had subsided. ~,The Earl of HADDINGTON also pressed the necessity tiving time fo r th e cons id e ration of the measure. he Bill was then read a second time. Visco u nt MELBOURNE mov ed that it be committed „ 'ext Thursday se'nnight. The Duke of WELLINGTON proposed that it should c 't be committed until that day (Tuesday) fortnight. Viscount MELBOURNE—Be it so. MUNICIPAL ACT AMENDMENT BILL. 1 . Ile H ouse h av ing resolved it se lf i n t o a C o mmittee on the leuni c ip a l A c t A me dment Bill, el The Marquis of CAMDEN moved the introduction of the C a use of which he recently gave notice, reserving to the Vice- Qatic e llor of the University of Cambrid g e the justiciary to tters which he at present possessed. fAfter a short conversation, in which the Earl of Radnor, 41 " 1 of Wi nc hil sea , t h e Duke of Wellington, an d th e M arqu is ` - 'amden participated, the clause was agreed to. t e 'he Bill having gone through the Committee, the House 4illned; the report was received, and ordered t o b e ta k en ° further consideration on Thursday. r , STAFFORD DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. t e il the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY , the second C o at ing of the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill, which stood for hb!eorrow (Wednesday), was postponed to Thursday, t o day their Lordships adjourned. 41 4 . —E P UBLISHING U SINESS.-- recently ac riled our rea d ers t h at M r .

Brazil, 500 bags have been disposed cf by private contract at 525. 6d. a 545. for good ordinary to good ordinary coloury. TEA.—The question as regards an extension of time for the payment of the ls. 6d. instead of the 2s. Id. duty on Bohea, has at length been settled by a direct refusal to entertain the question. The deputation of the Tea trade which had waited on Government informing the merchants and others assem bled at the public meeting held yesterday, that ministers did not see any necessity for an extension of time, as much injury would be experienced by those parties who had bought Bohea Teas upon the faith of the Act of Parliament, a memorial has been drawn up, and another deputation formed to wait upon some of the Members of the House of Commons, so as to have the subject discussed publicly before the House, but is sup posed by most parties that it will be all to no purpose. It will require 1,250,0001. to pay up the duty; the late hour at which Government have driven the trade, in not giving a decisive a nswer, has occasioned great inconveni ence . Thedeterminat lion of the Government in not allowing a postponement of the time for the payment of the Bohea duty has produced great heaviness in the Tea trade, on account of the large quantities of Bohea which will be thrown upon the market at low prices. There were but few buyers present at the public sales to-day, and a great quantity of Teas were bought in at reduced prices, low Congous at ls. ; Canton Bohea taken in, few bidders. The deputation have acted very disingenuously in keeping back the answer of the Government, which ought to have been made known last Thursday, but was not communicated to the trade until yesterday, and has called forth the just indignation of several of the trade. At the close of the Tea sales this day the effect produced by the Bohea duty result, and the quantity to be thrown on the market, produced nearly a panic in the Tea trade, Of about 12,000 packages passed the sale this day only from 1,000 to 2,000 sold. Congous have been chiefly bought in, the few sold went at 1 s. lid. for but m ll i y d s d o l n in , g &c k ., kinds, and 2s. to 2s. lid, for the fine blackish leaf , qualities - the other Teas put up were Caper, Orange Pekoe, the greater part of which found no buyers ; some Boheas have been disposed of at 100., with a guarantee of payment of the duty before the Ist July. The quantity of Boheas in this market is about 13,000,0001b5., of which the consumption is, estimated at about 6,000,0001b5. per annum. The sales will finish to-morrow evening or Thursday morning. The total deliveries of all descriptions of Teas from the warehouses on which duty has been paid for the week ending June 11th are 364,1001b5. COTTON.—There is nothing doing, the manufacturers and dealers waiting for the large public sales ; the quantity which is to be brought forward has increased to nearly 30,000 bales. The quantity of Cotton sold at Liverpool last week was 11,520 KILKENNY MARKEN. Wheat (per barrel) 18s. 3d. to 21s. 6d. Beef (per lb.

Eit 6.l2ths, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS " A single day," says the Scotsman, " sufficed to get 30,000 signatures in Manchester, 20,000 in Glasgow, and 12,000 in Edinburgh. Within a fortnight two or three hundred thousand men will have testified in favour of the Bill of justice, and two or three thousand in favour of the Bill of insult." What stronger proof can be afforded of the sentiments of the people ? We would put, it to the Tories, who are rich, whether it is prudent in them to take so much pains to show that they are an anti•national faction ? It is quite impossible that the Tories, do what they will, can succeed in defeating the attempt to do jus tice to our Irish brethren ; and why should they unnecessa rily irritate the people ? The country is now beyond example prosperous, and agitation is on many accounts to be depre ca:.-ed. We warn the Oligarchs to beware how they make unnecessary experiments on the patience of the people. The Tories are, we fear, under bad leaders, or they would husband their resources for occasions when there might be better chances of success. The Tories are aware of the belief that per vades the industrious classes,l that they are always losers by agitation ; but the use which is made of this knowledge will some day rouse the people to an effort to rid themselves of the evil, by reaching its source. With all the patience for which the EngliSh people are proverbial, we doubt much whether they will longer suffer themselves to be made the subject of rash Tory experiments. They made a great ef fort for the sake of the Reform Bill ; but that measure, so far from procuring for the nation the tranquillity to which it is entitled, has been the source of constant agitation. The Tories will not resign themselves to that measure. But can they possibly hope for to overturn that measure? If they cannot, their restlessness only impresses more strongly on the nation the opinion that the Reform Bill, to be complete, must be followed up by an organic change in the Peers. Every month, every day, the people are becoming more convinced that this step must be taken. The prosperity of the nation must not be exposed to constant hazard for the sake of trading politicians, who have succeeded in obtaining an improper influence over infatuated Tory noblemen. The following temperate observations by our calm and philosophic Contemporary the Scotsman, are well deserving the atten tion of those Tories who have something at stake. Depre cating the excitement and commotion of contests which un settle men's minds, the Scotsman proceeds to observe— " A friend from Lanarkshire, well acquainted with the state of feeling in the great scat of our manufactures, informs us, that even a dissolution of Parliament is regarded with strong aversion there, as an interruption to that tide of prosperity of which they are now reaping the benefit; but a dissolution tak ing place under circumstances which would excite a conflict of hostile passions from one end of the country to the other, is still more strongly dreaded as doubly mischievous. As an illus tration of this he remarked, that during the five months of Sir R. Peel's Government no large property could be sold in that part of Scotland. If the agitation of the time paralysed conspi cuous transactions of this kind, we may be sure that it operated on the outlay of capital in a thousand unseen channels, and that it seriously obstructed the industry of the country. It may safely be said that one Tory intrigue cost the kingdom some millions of money. The people, we assert, are most averse to political agitation at this moment. They will bear from the Upper House just now, what they would not bear under other circumstances. There must, however, be a limit to their patience ; and if the faction and folly of a part of the Members of that House force on the question of Peerage re form, it is easy to see that an organic change, effected under the influence of exasperated popular feeling, will be of the the most uncompromising and radical description. Most ear nestly do we hope that the wiser and cooler-headed Peers will avert the • impending danger, by accepting the altered Minis terial Bill."—Morning Chronicle. The measure for the so-called " refOrm" of the office and jurisdiction of Lord Chancellor turned out to be an egre gious failure, as might indeed have been expected, and was treated by the House of Lords as it would have been by the House of Commons—that is to say, thrown out by an immense and indignant majority, which, according to the opinions of all the more eminent professional men who had been consulted with regard to it, no less than from the mis givings of its own incapable framer, it was manifest that it well deserved to be. The Bill, or Bills, had for their pro fessed object to make more ample provision for the admi nistration of equity, through the medium of the Court of Chancery itself, of the Privy Council, and of the House of Lords in its appellate jurisdiction, by appointing an addi tional judge to preside in the Court of Chancery, and by separating the Lord Chancellor entirely from that Court ! confining his Lordship altogether to the House of Lords and to the Privy CounceChamber, and com pelling him and other Peers to decide appeal cases from the Courts of Equity during the prorogation of Parliament. This, we think, may be considered the substance of the scheme. On that portion of it which concerns the separation of the Lord Chancellor's duties as a judge in what has hitherto been his own proper Court, from his functions as President of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and as Chief Judge of Appeals in the House of Lords, Sir E. Sugden's little pamphlet, published last year, supplied a cool and masterly, an edifying and contemptuous comment. To the shape in which it now ap pears Lord Lyndhurst administered an equally fatal demoli tion. Even Lord Langdale, in his able, though too specu lative and excursive speech, appeared but ill satisfied with the manner in which the Cottenham Bill had been framed to accomplish its purposes. His own scheme was of a very different character ; it was, however, far too extensive to be adopted at present. No lawyer, of whatever party, in either House, would consent to it. But as regards Lord Cottenham's Bill, Lord Lyndhurst proved at once that such a division of the functions of Lord Chancellor was needless for what it professed to aim at, and pernicious from other considerations. Lord Lyndhurst first showed that the most important part of the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords is that which relates to equity, and it is by far the most difficult ; still that there are not above 12 or 13 equity appeals entered in the course of the year. It was also stated by Lord Lyndhurst, and fully admitted, that there is not more judicial business in the year in the House of Lords than can be disposed of well in about 70 days. This includes all kinds. What will the Chancellor have to do the rest of the year ? This, no doubt, was felt in preparing the Bill, and therefore he' is made to preside at the Judicial Committee of the Council ; but why take him from the Court of Chancery, his peculiar and proper court, to plant him in the Privy Council ? This is too absurd. If 70 days are sufficient to dispose of the busi ness in the House of Lords, 210 constituting the whole judicial year, it will follow that one-third of the Chancel lor's time will be spent in the House of Lords, and two thirds will be devoted to the Court of Chancery—not an unreasonable division. There seems, therefore, to be no sense in the scheme. Having thus demonstrated that the appellate jurisdiction, both of the Court of Chancery and the House of Lords, was already well provided for, there being little or no arrear of appeal causes now existing in either, his Lordship argued to the conviction of his audience, that if the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal were to be re moved from his own court, and appropriated exclusively to appeal causes in the House of Lords (the Privy Council jurisdiction being of a distinct nature), the consequence pointed out by Sir Edward Sugden would inevitably follow —viz., that the Keeper of the Great Seal would, by reason of his retirement from the Court of Chancery, cease in no very long time to be a competent equity judge, and there fore a judicial functionary qualified to correct the errors of the court below, or to decide an appeal question upon the same principles, or with due regard to the same rules of practice, as governed the proceedings of the courts in which the causes had been originally entered. Every member of the profession must know, observed Lord Lyndhurst, that the intricacies and subtilties of equity were difficulties not depending on statutes ; that to be thorougly conversant with, and master of, them, required a daily, intense, and vigilant study, of the points and proceedings which consti tuted the equity practice, as each case should come before a Court of Equity—that to keep pace with the pro gress of the equity system of investigation and decision, it was indispensable for a judge of appeal to have his mind imbued with the spirit of the system, as it was car ried on from hour to hour, and his faculties sharpened by a constant familiarity with it ; that the Lord Chancellor, deprived by Lord Cottenham's Bill of such advantages, would rapidly degenerate into a judge inferior in knowledge and capacity to those upon whose de cisions he would be called upon to exercise his appellate jurisdiction, affording no satisfaction to the bench or bar, no security or confidence to the suitors, depriving the na tional jurisprudence of its steady, consistent, and scientific character, and bringing the highest of our tribunals into suspicion or contempt. Lord Lyndhurst, however, took care to demonstrate that his was no party or ill-considered opposition to the measure of the Learned Lord. He ac knowledged the necessity of a reinforcement to the admi nistration of justice throught the whole rangelof our courts of equity. But his plan for furnishing that assistance bore testimony to a more workmanlike and useful intellect than that of the Whig Lord Chancellor. Lord Lyndhurst pro posed the appointment of an additional equity judge in the Court of Chancery, and to make the Equity Court in the Exchequer effective by giving ,a permanent judge to that court. This would enable the Legislature to abolish the Court of Review, which is an object of universal ridicule, and to transfer that jurisdiction to one of the equity judges. This would defray nearly the whole expense of the change. It would also enable the House of Lords to have the assist ance of two Equity Judges besides the Chancellor, where the appeal is from the Chancellor's decision sitting in the Court of Chancery. It would further furnish the means of having a good President (always the same man) to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. This system is intelligible, easily practicable, and, in our humble opinion , would work well, though we believe some of the profession wish for a still more extensive change. We doubt, how ever, whether either Parliament, the profession, or the public, would a t p resen t consen t t o mo re. There is no arrear of appeals now • in the Court of Chancery, nor will there ever be, now that the bankruptcy business is takes away. The Duke of Wellington's judgment on one branch of the subject ought not surely, as an old Minister of the Crown, to be overlooked. His Grace declared that the discharge of the political duties of Lord Chancellor by one individual, and of the ordinary judicial functions by ano ther, would occasion a change alike detrimental to " the business of the House of Lords, and to the service of his Majesty."—Times. Another instance that the " times are out of joint," and that there is " something rotten in the State of Denmark," is thrust upon public notice by a decision of the House of Peers on Monday night. They threw out by a majority of 94 to 29 another popular measure—that of the separation of the judicial and political functions of the Lord Chan cellor. There is, perhaps, no measure of Reform in the administration of the law on which the common sense of the public has so completely come to a decision as this. It is impossible that it can be otherwise. It resolves itself into a mere question as to the possibility or impossibility of the performance of certain functions of the deepest importance to the well-being of society. We aro perfectly satisfied that no individual of clear head, and business-like habits, could for one moment look at the question without satisfying himself of the advantage, or rather of the necessity, of the proposed discrimination between two impracticable functions. We are satis tisfied that—if all the individuals in the three king doms of reasonable faculties, and mature age—being independent of the sinister influences of party-- or the distracting influences of private interest—were se verally polled, there would not be throughout the whole mass two opinions on the subject. We are not speaking of the details of the measure—we are speaking of its ge neral principle, which is , merely in other forms the prin ciple of common sense itself. It is one of those self-evi dent propositions.which may be pronounced axomatic. It is as much so as the proposition that the sun is not black, or that it is requisite for the sun and the moon to perform different functions in the administrative harmony of our planetary system. We are, as we have said, not speaking of the details. To err is human. There may have been defects in the subordinate parts of the Chan cellor's Bill ; but those details were not involved in the discussion, inasmuch as the Lord Chancellor who framed the measure, and the Ministers who supported it, ex pressed the most conciliatory disposition to modify what ever might be objectionable, or misconstructed, in those de tails on going into Committee. This was the object of the Lord Chancellor's 'motion for going into Com mittee ; but their Lordships rejected the overture as if with a settled determination to place themselves as much in the wrong as possible, in the estimation of the country. No thing can be more clear than the general principle of the Bill, and more perspicuously convincing than its necessity. It is impossible for one man to perform the various conflict inn and incongrous duties—political and judicial, commer cial, appellate, and parliamentary—assigned to the Lord Chancellor. The most brain-struck visionary in the cele brated island of Laputa, could not have conceived any thing more incoherently impracticable than the union of these heterogeneous functions. The supposition is a matter for perfect mockery and laughter to any man who has the slightest pretensions to plain sense—and who does not choose to suffer it to be overlaid by the special pleading technicalities of verbose debaters. The idea of ex tracting sun-beams from cucumbers--concocting soups from egg-shells—and of constructing mahogany planks out of saw-dust—which were among the beatific visions of the Laputan Statesmen—were not more Judi , crous and more outrageously absurd than the imaginary legal combination designed by the wool-gathering " wisdom of our ancestors," and very symbolically and appropiately seated upon a wool-sack. It might have done very well for a low, barbarous, and barely-peopled state of society, when it was first invented by the half-savage tribe of Norman robbers ; but the drollery of the thing is, that our heredi tary wise men, who think it a boast (although it be in reality a false one), that they are descended from these plundering French savages, should take into their heads that those antiquated expedients should by any possibility be adapt able to the advanced stage of society. In fact, an ad cap tandanz appeal to the antiquated dignity of the office of Lord Chancellor was the lever employed for throwing out this beneficial measure. Their Lordships might have as rea sonably decided that the clothes in which they were first breeched were adaptable to their mature growth ; that they ought to be still worn by them, when they have reached their full size of broad-shouldered self-will and manly imbecility. Yet a proposition so self-evident as that we have described, their Lordships on Monday night re jected, taking Lord Lyndhurst as their Coryphmus, who seems to have taken as much delight in leading them into all the quagmires of legal sophistry and technical pedantry, as ever was taken by Shakspeare's merry spirit, in leading Caliban and his witless and drunken companions into a similar unsavoury and humiliating position. All the rest of the opponent arguments employed to mystify and hoodwink their Lordships were made up of Lon gueurs on the subject, stolen from stale pamphlets, in which they have been surfeitingly repeated, and of which " damned iteration" is the nauseating cha racteristic. We have done with the subject. If we wished ill to their Lordships' House, we could not wish them to take up their false position of obstinate resistance to every good measure with more perfect certainty to them of self-destructive results. We are tired of the cant about collisions ; but this we must say, that their Lordships have forced upon the common sense of the country the full con viction that the antiquated machine of Government, in vented by, and possibly adapted to barbarous times, is worn out—that the countervailing forces absurdly predicated by Delolme as a beauty in the mechanical structure of the Government—a principle perfectly absurd in mechanics— have brought the machine to a dead stand. Reparation or alteration is thereby rendered promptly and imperatively necessary.—Morning Advertiser. The Ministerial organs seem to be so mortified and astounded at the calm determination of the Constitu tional party to abide the present " crisis " without flinching, that they have lost all bounds of probability and coherence in their criticism. It is furiously asserted that the Lords desire to throw every thing into confusion—just as if it were not plain enough that, from principle, from habit, and from their own interest (for what similar number of individuals have so much at stake in the country as they have ?) the Lords are of all men in the world the least likely to desire confusion. There is as much difference between the representations of the Ministerial organs, and representations of truth, as there is between a rabid and a rational view of the question at issue. The rational view is this—that if there be really any risk of confusion from the determi nation of the Lords not to be brow-beaten by a small majority of the other House, the conviction of being in the right, upon the part of their Lordships, must be very strong, to induce them to encounter a risk which is more serious as respects them than as it respects any other class. They have every thing to lose and nothing to gain by a c o nvu l s i on w hi c h s h ou ld shake the established order of things, while fierce and needy de magogues, the public brawlers, and public beggarmen, who act a part upon the political stage for the gratification of their ambition and the filling of their pockets, have every thing to gain and nothing to lose. We hold it then to he very clear that the conduct of the Lords, instead of exhibit ing a desire to throw all things into confusion, displays a determination to maintain the constitutional rights and pri vileges of the three estates of Parliament, and to hinder that confusion which must flow from a disturbance of these rights, and a usurpation of them by a small majority of one of these estates. But is there really any risk of public confusion, because upon the Irish Municipal Corpora tions Bill the two Houses of' Parliament happen to disagree ? We believe not ; and this it is which ex cites the vexation of the Radicals and the Minis terialists. It is easy to see through the affectation of regret for the " confusion " which they prophecy. Their regret—nay, much more, their bitter mortifica tion—lies in this, they cannot stir up the public into a vehement desire for the disturbance of the ccnsti national powers, upon the present occasion. Nothing could be more absurd than Lord John Russell's attempt to make a very great affair of the present difference upon a particular Bill, between the Lords and the Commons. What need of his going back to the startling times of re volutions and restorations? Is it anything so unwonted in our own times, for the two Houses to differ upon matters much more important than this question upon Irish Cor porations ? It will hardly, we suppose, be maintained that this question is of equal importance to Ireland with that of Roman Catholic emancipation ; and yet, how often did the two Houses come to precisely opposite conclusions about that? There was then no rant about collision—no insolent vapouring against the right of the House of Lords to exercise an independnt judgment upon what came before it from the House of Commons. And why ? Because the constitutional independence of each House was admitted, and the Bri tish nation took no such irresistible and overwhelm ing interest in the question as should make it an except tion to general rules. But now, upon the mere impulse of factious resentment —upon the agitation of a question which not a hundred persons of any consideration in Eng land feel a stirring interest in, beyond the wish that the constituted authorities may act upon it in the ordinary way —an extravagant attempt is made to invest it with all the importance of a national object, for which something like revolution ought to be hazarded. This violence will go down with no one having any pretension to common sense. As we hinted yesterday, the Ministers, if they persevere in the endeavour to propitiate Mr. O'Connell at the expense r own u s character, tan c e sdm e and a n d t no to such thine, drive affairs to a " cr isis," ofwhere their m c will probably find the effect to be, that of' losing their places, which we have no doubt are very dear to them ; and the loss will be accompanied by the unpleasant reflection that, but for bales at a decline of id. a -Id. on the American and Brazil; Sea Island, which has been in request has advanced Id. per lb.

There being only 37 Members present at four o'clock, the Speaker adjourned the House till to-morrow. The List of the Subscriptions at the Meeting for com pensation to Mr. Buckingham will appear to-morrow. The Metropolitan Society of Florists dined toge ther yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of presenting Mr. George :Glenny, their Chairman, with a ser vice of plate, which consisted of a silver salver, bread basket, and four decanter stands, manufactured by Rundell, of Lud gate-hill. The chair was filled by the Rev. J. Stainforth, who delivered a neat and appropriate speech on the occasion, and presentqd the worthy amateur of Floriculture with the splendid gift in testimony of the esteem which he is held in by the society. The band of the Life Guards was in atten dance, and several vocalists engaged, who contributed to the amusement of the company. WHOLESALE MATRIMONY.—It seems that Miss Harriet Martineau, long as she has been lecturing in the States, has no t yetbeen to Bangor—or else her lectures are very lightly listened to there, for the Bangor Commercial Advertiser says :—" According to a statement of the City Clerk, intentions of marriage have been published by him of two hundred and twenty-one couple ! and he thinks, if it had not been for fear of a French war, he should have had fifty more. Why should all girls, a wit exclaimed, Surprisingfarniers be? • Because they're always studying The art of husband-ry.' Some very curious fossil remains have been dis covered in the earth, where excavations have been made for the railroad, near Chalk Farm. Amen; others, a petrified crab has been found, and some beautiful crystals, as transpa rent as water, in the centre of which appear the fibres of small vegetables, and in others insects. , I 1 /. I
